Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in such palatial, private grounds, you’d hardly believe this traditional Masseria home is just a five-minute drive from the beach and five kilometres from the history-rich baroque town of Lecce. Inside, the farmhouse interiors are bang up-to-date, with walk-in shower rooms in every bedroom and an adjoining self-contained bedroom annexe should you fancy a little extra privacy. The villa's owners live unobtrusively behind the house and are always happy to suggest local day trips and tips for dining out. They then like to take a step back so you can feel the home is truly yours.
